Mail 3.5 says sent 2 messages per single message I send

Just noticed, that for every message I send, Mail says 2 messages sent. Did not notice this before, but very disconcerting. I tried using CLAMXAV to search for a virus, but non found. Any suggestions?

Steve,
Welcome to the Discussions.
If you are using an IMAP account, this is often noticed and normal, as Mail communicates with the Sent folder on the server. If you open the full Activity monitoring window (Window in the menubar/Activity) I think you will see a fuller description of the transmissions.

Mail 5.3 I sent a message to a friend however, when viewing it I discovered several other past emails attached to it that I did not intend to send. I was wondering want I may of done wrong. Thanks for any replies.

I get several thousand emails a day and have no issues. Sounds like either the mail account in Mail is configured incorrectly or the Exchange Server (I'm assuming you meant Exchange Server and not Outlook Server) needs a software update or may have a setting that doesn't play well with other mail clients.

TS4003 Now have iCloud mail. But the 'Sent' folder messages (only) did not transfer from MobileMe Mail

Now have iCloud mail. But the 'Sent' folder messages (only) did not transfer from MobileMe Mail.

Your first theory may be correct.
If you haven't already, change your password on your .mac account. That will stop any further action by the other fellow. Even if you can't tease out the detail of what happened exactly, you can at least fix the problem with the password change.
Also if you left on good terms, contact the new owner of the workMac and ask if s/he used your .mac account.

Mail says '1 unsent message' though there is no message to be sent?

iPhone 3GS, 3.1.2 installed and all else working properly at the moment.
Mail program (Mobile Me) says '1 unsent message' though there is no message waiting to be sent.
Am concerned and wanting to fix this because it is draining my battery 1% a minute it seems.
What do I need to do?
Have tried removing and re-installing. Unsure what else to try?
It is my understanding it works in sync with Mobile Me as well as my macbook mail app. I have no mail that needs to be sent on either.
Any help anyone can offer would be so greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Here is how to do it:
switch on airplane mode in the settings. go to mail and write an email from the account, where the "unsent mail" is stuck. compose a new mail and send it. since you are in airplane mode it is unable to send it and will put it in the "outbox" and make the "outbox" visible. Now there are two mails, the newly composed one and the old stuck one. If all you want ins delete them, just do the swipe-delete (the edit, delete buttons wont work in airplane mode).

Mail 3, smtp, IMAP: sent messages are not saved on server

Hello,
I had problems using Mail 3 after I upgraded to Leopard, so I used Thunderbird for the time being. With the update 10.5.1 I tried again: most problems solved BUT: sent messages are not saved on the server in mailbox "Sent".
Some background: I deleted the folder "<User>/Library/Mail" and "<User>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist" and configured Mail from scratch.
To be sure: I still have Thunderbird installed, and when I send with Thunderbird: a copy is placed in "Sent".
Another thing I noticed: it takes more than a minute to send from Mail 3 and a few seconds when I send from Thunderbird. I have another Macbook Pro with 10.5.0 installed: same problem with sending.
Any help is appreciated.

Well, be stumped I did all that, but to be sure, I did it again:
I have a lot folders with subfolders and they are shown under my account name.
I created a new folder "test" in my IMAP account and designated it to be the new "Sent" folder. It replaces my previous Sent folder in the group Inbox, Drafts, Trash. My previous Sent folder now appears under my account name as a "normal" folder.
I send a message and the Activity monitor says: +"Delivering message: copying message"+. After a minute Mail is done. I check my (new) "Sent" folder and it's empty. I double check in webmail: it's empty.
So I go to the Finder and look in my IMAP folder: <user>/Library/Mail/<IMAP-account>/test.imapmbox and there is no folder "Messages", only Info.plist.
Then I try to move a message to the "Sent' folder: for a minute the Activity moinor says: Copying messages: copying message" and then Mail prompts: +"The message "testing" could not be+
+The connection to the server mail.hicetnunc.nl on port 143 timed out"+.
So it looks like Mail has a problem with the default "Sent" folder: it cannot copy messages to that folder at all! Aha!
But then I try to move a message to a "normal" IMAP folder: same thing! Mail cannot copy to any folder!
In both instances Mail says: +"The message "..." could not be be moved to the mailbox "..."+
+The connection to the server mail.hicetnunc.nl on port 143 timed out"+
Last thing: I try to move a message to a folder in the same account again. But in the process I quit Mail. I open Mail again and Mail is performing pending operations: copying message. After a while Mail prompts: +"Operation could not be completed. (MFMessageErrorDomain error 1028.)"+ and crashes... I open Mail again and it tries to peform pending operations. Again: an error message and Mail crashes. This keeps going on so I delete the whole account and set it up again. Nothing's changed...
I can receive and send, but sent messages are not copied to the "Sent" folder and I cannot move messages around within a IMAP account. But TADA!!!: I can move messages from account to account.

Mail won't save sent messages

I just got this computer- a hand me down from my boyfriend- and I am having trouble adjusting to Mail. It does not save the mail that I write, and in fact tells me so every time I start writing a new mail message. The preferences are enabled to save sent mail-- but the computer also tells me there's an error every time i start up the computer.
Can anyone tell me what I can do to remedy this? What is going on?

This whole thing is very confusing to me and I'm sorry if I seem vague. This new computer is fabulous- but I'm used to my ancient blue G3 and Entourage.
I believe that my account is an IMAP account. I followed your directions, substituting "IMAP" for "POP." I sent a sample email, and a pop down menu did not appear and warn me that my mail could not be saved. However, it is not in the saved messages folder.
Just to clarify, on the left of the Mail screen there is an Inbox, with smaller subfolders: Drafts, Sent & Trash. These folders mirror what is on my account online. Under this is a little paper airplane icon that says Sent. This continues to be empty, no matter what I do. The preferences are set to Never delete sent messages. Also, if I hit "save as draft," I get a message that says, "The message could not be saved."
Would trashing the Norton stuff help? I'm not sure if that is related to this question.
Thanks!

Why does my mail say this message cannot send

Every time i try to send a email from my mail on my laptop it says
"Error This message could not be sent. It will remain in your Outbox until it can be sent.
This message could not be sent because your account does not have a preferred outgoing mail server. Select an outgoing mail server from the list below." could someone tell me how to fix it?

From the Mail menu bar, select
          Mail ▹ Preferences
The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Accounts tab, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
In the Account Information pane, select a server in the menu labeled
          Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
If there's no server in the menu, select
          Edit SMTP Server List...
and add one with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.

Messages in "Sent Mail" were never actually sent.

We recently switched to Snow Leopard exchange, and switched from Microsoft Entourage to Mac Mail. Ever since the switch, I have realized that I am not getting any notifications if an email is not able to be sent.
I am normally able to send emails fine, but now and then, usually on emails with large attachments, the email never makes it to the recipient. These messages do not sit in my Outbox - they act as if they have been properly sent, and appear in my Sent Mail along with all the properly sent messages. When I was using Entourage and other email clients, I used to get a Delivery Status Notification that would let me know if a message was not able to be sent. At a minimum, it would be stuck in my Outbox so I at least knew it didn't get sent.
Is there any way for me to find out when a message was not successfully sent? This is a huge deal at my place of business, as we rely on email communication. I need to know if a message did not go through!

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
In order to protect against an overzealous SPAM filter somewhere in the path of the messages, you should resend one of these to someone you know did not receive. Open the message in the Sent mailbox, choose Message/Send Again from the menubar, then click on Format/Make Plain Text.
If you composed and sent in Rich Text Format, there is always a chance the RTF (which is a subset of HTML) will be deemed by a filter to be SPAM or worse, and stopped or removed. When a filter is so involved, you will not get any notice of delivery failure.

When trying to send E-mail via AOL i get the message "rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying" I have checked settings as per answers to similar question

When trying to send E-mail via AOL i get the message "rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying" I have checked settings as per answers to similar question

From which account does the email not send? When sending from an account, the iPad will first try to use the aoutgoing server for that account. If it can't it will try the other accounts listed.in the setting on the iPad for that account. It soulds like the server for the account is not working and that the alternate server is resjecting the messag since it did not originate ffrom the account associated with that server, That is to prevent sending spam.

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
